Lincomycin is an important antimicrobial agent which is widely used in clinical and animal husbandry. The biosynthetic pathway of lincomycin comes to light in the past 10 years, however, the regulatory mechanism is still unclear. In this study, a redox-sensing regulator Rex from Streptomyces lincolnensis (Rex ) was identified and characterized to affect cell growth and lincomycin biosynthesis. Disruption of rex resulted in an increase in cell growth, but a decrease in lincomycin production. The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that Rex can promote transcription of the regulatory gene lmbU and the structural genes lmbA, lmbC, lmbJ, lmbV, and lmbW. However, electrophoretic mobility shift assay analysis demonstrated that Rex can not bind to the promoter regions of these genes above. Findings in this study broadened our horizons in the regulatory mechanism of lincomycin production and laid a foundation for strain improvement of antibiotic producers.

Thermoacidophilic archaea thrive in environments with high temperatures and low pH where cells are prone to severe oxidative stress due to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). While the oxidative stress responses have been extensively studied in bacteria and eukaryotes, the mechanisms in archaea remain largely unexplored. Here, using a multidisciplinary approach, we reveal that SisPerR, the homolog of bacterial PerR in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A, is responsible for ROS response of transcriptional regulation.

During persistent antigen stimulation, exhausted CD8 T cells are continuously replenished by self-renewing stem-like T cells. However, how CD8 T cells adapt to chronic stimulation remains unclear. Here, we show that persistent antigen stimulation primes chromatin for regulation by the redox-sensing KEAP1-NRF2 pathway.

Rhizobia associate with legumes and induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules. The regulation of bacterial redox state plays a major role in symbiosis, and reactive oxygen species produced by the plant are known to activate signaling pathways. However, only a few redox-sensing transcriptional regulators (TRs) have been characterized in the microsymbiont.

The cell cycle is a tightly regulated, dynamic process controlled by multiple checkpoints. When the prevention of cell cycle progression is needed, key effectors such as members of the p21 (CIP/KIP) inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). It is accepted that p21 does not sense DNA damage and that stress signals affect p21 indirectly.
